I think this verse will inspire you. The reason being, that when we submit to fantasy and lust, our minds aren't on the Lord.

Philippians 4:8

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

One way to improve self-control is to remove everything that causes lack of it.

Read in Proverbs for wisdom. Titus 1:15 and Genesis 38:6-10 for resolve to honor the Lord with your body. Paul taught that if we struggle with singleness, to consider marriage.

I hope this helps.

I have only just discovered the books of Esdras and am enthralled. Thank you so much for posting them and explaining why the Apocrypha is no longer part of the Bible as we know it. I find some connections between Esdras and the book of Revelation. My questions are: 1) Do you think there could be any connection between the eagle that ruled over the Earth in 2 Esdras, Chapter 7 and the "snare of the fowler" in Psalm 91? Also, who do you think "Jesus" was in the books of Esdra? Could he possibly be Isaiah? I know that, supposedly the Entity of Jesus did not exist until the virgin birth. However, I've always been drawn to Isaiah as above all of the other prophets and even wondered if he might be the Spirit of Jesus in a human form prior to His later birth of the Virgin Mary. His prophesies spanned many years after he died and I don't believe the explanation that the book of Isaiah was written by different people. He is the one who prophesied most about the MESSIAH and Jesus of Nazareth quoted him a lot. Also, the manner in which Isaiah is said to have died... Any thoughts for me?

Thank you,

Faith

Hi Thomas,

That was the interpretation generally held by the church in its early history, but others say that the sons of God were the men of the line of Seth and the daughter's of men were from the line of Cain or even, perhaps, of other human populations if God create mankind in Genesis 1 and set apart Adam in the garden for the line that survives the flood and leads to Jesus, our Messiah. I don't know if we can really know for sure. The Book of Enoch says that it was fallen angels that interbred with human women.

I do not know if scientific discovery will bring anything to this discussion. Should skeletal remains of people from that time ever be found and DNA could be extracted and analyzed, and compared to others from that age, then we may get some answers.

Thomas,

Yes, I here that these medications are very effective. I hope I would be able to get these meds prescribed if I do get covid. I hate that the use of these have been politicized and also discouraged by big pharma for the sake of the dollar. So many people could have been helped by these meds. I am glad that you recovered well from covid and now have natural immunity. That is always a good outcome.

God's blessings to you always.

Dear Amarin, An Asherah Pole is an Asherah Pole, a Christmas tree is a Christmas tree. If one worships before a Christmas tree, it is idolatrous, but not necessarily an Asherah Pole.

Good morning, Rick

I do not agree that Jesus was not born wit the spirit. I believe Jesus was fully human and fully God at conception. He always possessed the Spirit. In reference to John 1:32, at Jesus' baptism the Father and Spirit manifested with Him to affirm to those around Him that He was the Messiah, not to fill Him with the Spirit. If your interpretation is correct, then the it would also be true that the He became the Son of the Father at that time. But He was always the Son of the Father, Who said at His baptism, This IS my only begotten Son, in Whom I am well pleased. Jesus was already His Son. It does not say He became His Son. Same is true of the Spirit. Jesus was One in Unity with the and Spirit from all eternity, therefore as fully God and fully man, He had the Spirit since conception.

Hey Tony,

If I may, what people call demons are devils, unclean spirits, principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world, and spiritual wickedness in high places, some spirits with no physical bodies, some angels that have bodies that cannot possess humans but can control. Evil spirits are on this earth that can influence and also possess humans.

We see while Jesus was here the first time, He cast them out of many people, also he gave power for the disciples to do the same Matthew 10:1. We also see Paul doing the same, one in Acts 16:18. They are still on this earth, many do not believe they're real but believe me they are real.

The bible is not clear how or why these beings are on the earth. There are writings outside of the bible that talk about these but how true are they. The sons of God you speak of are angels, not unembodied spirits. Job 1:6 Job 2:1 and Job 38:7. We know some angels left their first estate and sinned that are locked in chains of darkness until judgment. 2 Peter 2:4 Jude 1:6.

These angels are not the devils or spirits that are roaming this earth, they are locked in the bottomless pit. We see they have a king in Revelation 9 whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. Strange is his name has the same meaning as the son of perdition, that means destruction/destroyer.

Through scripture, it says angels can take on human form, they ate and drank and even wrestled with Jacob. We are even warned when entertaining strangers they may be an angel. The sons of God you speak of in Genesis are those angels who left their first estate and mated with human women that produced the giants (Nephilim and Rephaim or Rephaites) The name of these people means "terrible ones", they were before the flood and after Genesis 6:4 tells us they were then and after the flood and when the sons of God mated with women it produced giants.

God bless,

RLW

Please pray for my dear husband, now suffering much pain from a rare cancer of the bone.

Covid pandemic has delayed treatment, and he has had many setbacks, infections which

have taken all his strength. I am a Christian, but my husband still has doubts.

He is however a good man, and the family is distraught.

His name is Ken.

Thank you, and God bless you.

A Prayer for JRBJr

Dec1 US Supreme Court abortion case..URGENT.Dec3-15 need to find $$$ to payinterest on debt or risk default to China who hold US debt.JanetYellen Treasury secretary in charge finding$$ to pay interest.Father, You instructed us to pray for those in authority, and we lift up JRBJr. We thank You

for the anointing that has abided over the office of JRBJr of the USA since the

time our forefathers dedicated this country to Jesus Christ. We pray that JRBJr will abide under that same covering. We extend the common honor to JRBJr that has been ascribed to

all in his position.God, we thank You for placing favor on the highest office in our land. We ask for Your protection

for JRBJr and his family. We bind every attack from the Aryan Nation, covert Nazi organizations,

skinheads or any other racist group that specifically hates and targets Jewish people. We bind

all terrorist assignments from local, national and international conspiracies against JRBJr, government and other political leaders.

Father, we ask You to reveal Your Son, Jesus, to JRBJr as the only way to God. We ask You

to cause JRBJr to have a Saul-to- Paul experience. Release the pricks and goads upon JRBJr's heart0 at an

accelerated pace so that JRBJr's heart will turn to the righteousness of Jesus Christ. Deliver JRBJr and

let him

experience a genuine new birth in his spirit. God, deal with JRBJr about Iran's agenda toward Israel, the innocent

bloodshed of the unborn and the sanctity of marriage.

Open doors for true prophets to speak to JRBJr in the White House. We bind the ministry of psychics, the teaching of black liberation theology, and every New Age and secular humanist

doctrine away from the White House.

God, put Your angels around the White House. Let the angels fill in the gaps, in Jesus' name.

Anoint the Secret Service agents with a double portion throughout the rest of JRBJr 's

tenure. We bind the spirit of the double agent. We come against the Judas spirit iA

Rick, I agree.

I was just responding to the topic of this thread. Focusing on the goodness of God and His provision for us in the gospel of Jesus is so worthy of our attention. It brings us such joy! But I think it is wise to be aware that evil influences do cause people confusion, terror, and harm and be willing to pray and stand against these things when God calls us to do so.

Have a wonderful day, Rick.

Hi Tony Just something to consider, when I study the word, my approach is not to look for what I believe it

means or trying to prove what I think but what is God saying, what does He mean, after all its His Word and its Truth.

I was I was trying to find out is masturbation a sin against God

Hi David,

I'm with you on that. Everything we need to know about prophecy is already contained in God's written word!

A beginner.

Is what Ezekiel saw a Prophecy of the end times?

BEHOLD! CAN YOU NOT SEE THE PARADINE HERE ? The riots,protests,violence! With some pastors ,and christians leading the way against the goverment the world antimask, antivax,antilove,anticharity,antichrist!

Alex N. There is no where in the bible where it says we are all born with demons or devils if that's the case you

are saying that everyone is born possessed. Influenced yes, going by the senses yes but possession no.

Brother that's not at all a profitable or loving thought or understanding. You have to show me that literally line

by line and word by word. God Bless

Were giants procreated from the sons of GOD (Angels) and daughters of men's sexual union?

Post #2

Brother Chris,

Harry states: "Then I shall have received eternal life in all its fullness, spirit, soul, and body, entirely conformed to Christ. In that sense I am hoping for eternal life" My comment: Yes, I agree we are all hoping for eternal life/salvation - we do not have it until the final judgement.

Harry:"But over and over and over again, Scripture rings the changes on the fact that every believer is at the present time in possession of eternal life." My comment: Here he contradicts himself saying that he believes that every believer is currently in possession of eternal life.

Harry: "That is exactly what we stand for. Anyone who says "I am a Christian" and does not follow peace and holiness will never see the Lord. At the judgment seat of Christ, the Lord will go over the entire life since regeneration, giving His mind about every thing, and the believer will then for the first time see each detail in the light of God's infinite holiness. Everything there will be dealt with so that the believer's failures will never be referred to again for all eternity." My Comment: I agree with this, we must be Christ followers, and Jesus Christ (Our Judge) will go over our lives since "being saved" or as Harry says since "our regeneration".

God Bless

He was not saved. He was a vessel fit for destruction.

I treated and cured my covid with ivermectin-- ivermectin has a 97% successful efficacy rate; I would never take the jab (Big Media/Big Pharma covers up vaccine side effects)

Leland,

God has declared the end from the beginning, He is in total control and it is hard for us to grasp with our human minds. It is for His pleasure and His glory and His counsel shall stand Isaiah 46:10. It is beyond our understanding, like what God allowed Satan to do to Job. I was not blessed with children and I cannot pretend to know how I would feel if I lost every child I had, along with all I owned. Do we have that kind of faith? The times are coming for those who are living when the end of days begins, it will take that kind of faith.

God uses people good and bad to do His will. Look at Pharaoh, God raised him to do His will Exodus 9:16. God named King Cyrus of Persia by name before he is even born to serve Him, Isaiah 45, and more.

I feel Jesus answers this, God gave the disciples to Jesus, and Judas was given to fulfill scripture. God knew who he was and he is one of two who is called the son of perdition.

John 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

God bless,

RLW

It is true that there are penalties and punishments for lying. And anyone saying do not judge someone or their heart for their lies are not speaking by the Holy Spirit who is the Spirit of Truth and he is the Spirit of God. God hates lying so much that he said in Revelations that whosoever, make and love a lie shall not enter into heaven.

Revelation 21

KJV

27+ And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

Revelation 22

KJV

15+ For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

We must judge righteous judgment. The Bible says that we will judge the world then why come we cannot judge the works both bad and good of others. It is unscriptural not to judge what is coming out of someone's spirit. The Holy Spirit is in you to help you. For it is dangerous not to try a spirit but to believe every spirit. The Holy Spirit in us is our measuring rod that let's us know when a standard is not of the Lord. And no lie or liar is of the Lord. People have been destroyed and even literally killed because of a lying and deceitful tongue. I find the scripture Psalms 120 in my morning devotion to be right on the mark. I have an acquaintance that lies to get everything she need, wants, and desires. But she say that she is Born-Again. However, this morning before reading my devotion the Holy Spirit was revealing to me that she is a liar and it is going too land her in trouble then in hell if she does not change. But? How will she turn from her ways if she does not hear the Word of God on this matter. She has stop going to church and only listens to false teachers that God told her to depart from long ago. Some of these false teachers were caught and reported to Rip Off. However, she still remain among them. Therefore, it is our reasonable services to pray but then we act. Shalom!!

Hi Brother Chris,

Thanks, I did enjoy reading the article you recommended regarding salvation. Eternal Security Of The Believer

By Dr. Harry Ironside. Anyone interested in reading can google it.

Basically, I understand that Harry believes that once we are Born Again we "can't lose" our salvation. But, he does interrupt this belief to say, that if we don't live a christian life we will not get our salvation, and that if we do fall away that we were never really "Born Again" or saved in the first place. This to me, this is "focal point" regarding losing salvation.

Here are are few excepts of his article: Harry, "the moment you trust the Lord Jesus as your Savior, your responsibility as a sinner having to do with the God of judgment is ended for eternity, but that same moment your responsibility as a child having to do with a Father in heaven begins. Now if as a child you should sin against your Father, God will have to deal with you about that, but as a father and not as a judge" My comment: I have a different belief, the bible tells us that Jesus will be our Judge.

Harry, "and if a man starts out and makes a profession but gives it all up, he will never be saved, because he was never born again to begin with, he was never truly changed by grace divine. On the other hand, the reason he endures to the end is not because of any particular perseverance of his own. What I believe in, and what the Word of God clearly teaches, is the perseverance of the Holy Spirit. When He begins a work, He never gives up until it is completed" My comment: If we don't live a Christian life we will not receive salvation, so whether we were "previously saved" or "never saved" it is a moot point, as we are going to hell.

To be continued in Post #2

In John 10:22, Jesus Christ is at the Temple probably December 25 for the Feast of Dedication (which has been paganized into Christmas). That date would be the first Day of an eight day Feast celebration.

The Maccabees decided to re-Dedicate The Temple on the 25th of Kislev (2 Maccabees 10:5) which is December 25. In the Bible it does not state that that date is the birth of Jesus Christ. Further, this Feast celebration of this date does not involve a decorated tree. (2 Maccabees 10:1-9)

Chris and Jesse When I hear people talk about prophecy it almost always is out side of scripture and is not

profitable at all, also if its prophecy then its has to come to pass verbatim never have heard or seen that. Lets

stick to whats written.

Dear, you can never add too many prayers. May your prayers be answered according to God's will and in His own time.

Jesse no offence but i think that Judas was saved as our Lord died for every sinner. When Jesus prayed FATHER forgive them they know not what they do Thats the world as God so loved the world . There is not 1 sinner that his blood cannot forgive . WASH CLEAN. There is not 1 sin that is stronger then his blood for remission of OUR sins . Remember Joseph was a type of Christ and he forgave all his brethren that had sold him including Judah that had sold him for 20 pieces of silver . When Jesus said have not I chosen you 12 but 1 of you is a demon, that was all of them we are ALL born with a demon thats y we must be bornagain every one of us, Remember Jesus even refered to Peter as a SATAN , As we all have a demon according to our OLD demonic nature. We must remember that the blood was applied to every one of US . As our lord died for ppl like Judas . Behold the lamb of God that taketh the Sins of the world .

Joseph brought All his brethren into the Kingdom on the 3 r day including Judah a type of Judas . He frankly forgave them ALL . How much more the Love of Jesus toward Judas. Its our old Adamic nature that should have neva been born .

We will ALL have to go thru his baptism of fire....

Tony I thought for a while about your questions but given this is for the most part a format that is here

to discuss the positives of believing Gods Word and deliverance through Jesus Christ, I don't see the profitability

spiritually of continuing this area of conversation. If someone else chooses to that's there privilege, so that being

said I'm on to something else. I bid you Philippians 4:8+9 God Bless
